3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite what I expected... February 24, 2010
Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
Length: 0:41 Mins
I generally LOVE Plan Toys & appreciate that they are eco-friendly & safe for kids, so when I saw this drum set I had to get it for my kids (especially since their dad is a professional drummer). Yes, the reviews are right--it comes apart VERY easily. I figured out how to twist the ties to secure the drums. However, the cymbol just pops right off, and actually slides out of the slot altogether while it's being played. We're definitely going to have to use some glue to secure everything a bit better. Another issue I have with the toy is that the drums actually wobble all over the place! I was expecting them to be more of a practice pad type structure, steady, secure & played like normal drums.

For a 3+ year old child, this set is a little too babyish, though it's suggested age is 3+. We let our 1.5 year old play on them & he had an absolute ball! Since there are small parts on it (wooden balls used as latches), I don't feel comfortable keeping it in his reach, unless I'm sitting with him and watching him directly though. Our 3 year old played them a few times & lost interest... & Our 5 year old likes them, but gets frustrated when the cymbols slide off.

My suggestions to Play Toys:
1) Make the drums stationary. They shouldn't be flopping around.
2) The peices should be more secure. Some of the parents are noting that they like that it is a sort of "puzzle drum"--but I didn't buy a puzzle drum, I bought a drum & expect it to at least stay together long enough for it to be played.
3) It should also be a bit bigger for a 3+ age range. It's the perfect size for my 1.5 year old, but not intended for him.

I do like that it's a wooden drumset (that's a rarity!), eco-friendly & safe, and features a modern looking design, but my cons outweight my pros, so I wouldn't recommend this toy without some changes being made to the design first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely toy, but there are some issues January 7, 2008
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
When we first got this toy, I played with it a lot. I noticed right away that the drums would start popping off if your drumsticks hit the outside edges of the drums too much. Since I have a toddler, I knew this would be an issue. A few days after he received it, his friends came over and completely took it apart in a matter of seconds. That's when one of the other mothers got a brainstorm...

The drum parts attach to the base by small wooden pegs on elastic. You're supposed to push the pegs in so they're in a vertical position in the holes. This clearly DOES NOT work well, even though it's what is directed and is also done this way in the photo on the box. However, if you push the wood pegs ENTIRELY through the hole, they turn horizontal and act like a button so the drums don't pop off.

Once they were in, we didn't have any other problems with the structure, except that my preschooler LOVES to take the other items off all the time. It's more of a puzzle to him than a drum set, but that could just be his level of development.

3.0 out of 5 stars It's so tiny! June 9, 2009

I love Plan Toys for their eco-friendly products and durability, so when I saw this drum set, I purchased asap. However, when the box came my husband and I laughed! It's tiny! This set is only about a foot off of the ground! Our 3 year old has to sit indian style to play it! It's great quality and has a great design, I would just warn that it's not the somewhat "fullsized" drum set that the picture makes it look like.
